My partner sometimes wants to watch romcoms. Except she (correctly) hates all British or American ones.

Due to this, we ended up watching Hors De Prix (Priceless) and it was just so much better than I was expecting. Fun, anarchic and mostly just quite silly. Thoroughly enjoyable and not as instantly forgettable as a Richard Curtis movie.

If a movie is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes then I always give it a chance, and that's what I did with this film. Well Priceless is one thing and that's definitely not fresh. Next year I've decided I'm going to watch through loads of Rotten Tomatoes certified fresh films and see how good they really are. Priceless is painfully boring, generic, and really not that great. It also has one of the most generic endings that we've seen in so many rom-com's before. The characters aren't really that interesting, to be honest they are pretty annoying and not likeable. There's not enough for you to actually grow to like them. In the end Priceless is a film that just bored me, it bought nothing new to the rom-com genre and didn't do anything to stand out, it was just another generic one with a lot of the same things that we have seen before.

A lot of American actors and actresses could learn a thing about RomComs by watching this. Tautou and Elmaleh are nothing short of fantastic in their roles. This is a rare beast... a RomCom that both sexes will like.

Romcom with a bit of bite that reminds me a little of Preston Sturges and his war of the sexes screwball comedies. The characters in this film do completely immoral things but it's always with such a charming smile that you have to enjoy it. A lot of fun.
